N24

N24 Name: N24
Type: Hercules A1
Motor: AeroTech K1100-T
Launch: NLD17, ASK 't Harde, 4 April 2003

The N24 is essentially the N23 with a new paint job. Its seventh flight was the last flight of the rocket that was first launched as the N18. The electronics included R-DAS with GPS and the NAVRO radio beacon. An other experiment is the NUND parachute system (see N23). The rocket had a nice lift off, but but crashed as it went ballistic. The reason was that the safety plug was forgotten and thus the parachuting system didn't operate. The remains were crushed very badly.
